You're a young girl, you should be at home now. You should be going with boys, you should be going to school, you know, that kind of stuff.

Our reading
An editorial interpretation.
The speaker tells a young girl she ought to be at home, going to school and spending time with boys. These activities form a picture of the ordinary life being urged on her. The loose ending, 'that kind of stuff', gives the appeal an uncertain, searching quality.
